My my, times they have changed… so maybe 7 years ago a night like this would find me currently at a bar, partying/drinking myself into oblivion. Then (sometime after bar closing) chatting online until god-knows-when-in-the-morning… three or four chat windows open, in a couple chatrooms, sending reply emails left & right… Tonight? Circa 2009? 9:00PM. Husband asleep, kiddos asleep, looking up recipes for “Banana Nut Bread” in order to frugally utilize the overripe bananas in the fruit basket and composing a meal planner for the next week. GOOD LORD I AM SO EXCITING. Nevermind, that I’ve had (I don’t know how many) vodka & lo-carb monsters (thank you Mary!), Michelob Ultra Lights, and now a glass of Shiraz… tomorrow at 6:30am I will be HATING MY LIFE as a 2-year old barges into my room exclaiming“MomMom, guy in my room!” and I dig myself deeper into the covers, pretending like I’m not alive.

And also… If I have to watch “The Cars Moonie” or “The Doggie Moonie” (translation: Disney’s Cars Movie or Bolt) ONE MORE FREAKIN’ TIME… I just might have to bang my head on a hard surface for several moments. Note to self: get more kid’s DVDs ASAP.

And lastly, I just looked at my referrers and someone found this site by searching for “sahm bitching during toddler years”. LOL! ! I think I have a new tagline!
